The science of surface chemistry has as its aim the characterization
of solid surfaces at the atomic level and the fundamental understanding
of surface phenomena, including catalysis. The development of new physical
and computational techniques have enabled rapid growth in the field
and the science of interfacial interactions is one of the emerging areas
of chemistry. This new book sets out to illustrate the impact of these
developments in a wide area of interfacial chemistry including plasma
chemistry of polymer surfaces, chemistry of oxide and metal clusters,
surface dynamics, the kinetics of clustering, oxygen states at metal
surfaces, the modelling of surfaces and interfaces, and novel reactions
and preparative methods in intefacial science.
